Our Reach

A media engine early-stage tech actually reads

Sponsors don't get a logo in a footer. They get placement across every newsletter we send, to founders, angels, and operators who open, click, and act on it.

Platforms pay us to reach this audience. That's not a projection. It's market-tested.

Why partner with us?

Embedded access, not just exposure

Proximity to the Next Generation of Founders

1752 doesn't just discover startups. We develop them. With over 1,000 founders moving through our programs each year, sponsors get in early, when relationships are being formed and vendor decisions are being made. You're not buying ads. You're building trust, proximity, and pipeline with teams on the rise.

High-Signal, Low-Noise Deal Flow

We run a <1% acceptance rate across 10,000+ applications annually. That means every founder you meet through 1752 has been rigorously vetted for traction, execution, and market fit. Whether you're sourcing partnerships, clients, or investments, 1752 saves you time by surfacing only the top-tier opportunities.

Embedded Access, Not Just Exposure

Our sponsors don't sit on the sidelines. They teach workshops, host happy hours, attend private dinners, and contribute to founder sessions. This level of engagement builds long-term brand equity, not fleeting impressions, ensuring you're remembered as a partner, not a vendor.

Curated Community of Builders and Backers

From LPs and emerging fund managers to angels, operators, and repeat founders, 1752 convenes a rare cross-section of early-stage power players. Our dinners, showcases, and programs are intentionally intimate and invite-only, designed to facilitate real conversations, relationships, and strategic collaboration.

A Media Engine That Actually Converts

With a top-performing Beehiiv newsletter (VC Unfiltered), a growing LinkedIn presence, and regular high-engagement content drops, 1752 gives sponsors millions of impressions every month and ongoing visibility to one of the most tuned-in audiences in early-stage. It's not just about reach. It's about being part of the conversation that founders and investors already trust.
